I am somewhat interested in the GPS mic. I wonder if it's backwards

mic separately so I can pick one up without having to buy a whole new radio.

1.2GHZ is the other D-Star band - many D-Star sites offer this
frequency both voice and DD Mode (128K Data)
Icom did make a Quad Band HT (I still Use it) for FM - the
IC-T81A Nice little HT the same size as the IC91 & IC92. It covers
50, 144, 440 and 1.2 bands in one neat package

Light use on W0CDS-A, but a few users. The economic down-turn has

There are many 1.2 DV repeaters on the air
(mostly because Icom offered them Free to groups
buying a 2M and 70 CM Dstar repeater). 1.2 isn't
just a line of sight band, just ask any Weak
Signal enthusiast. I'v worked Central TX from FL
on all VHF+ bands through 3456 MHz on
SSB. Advant
I have used both 23 cm FM & D-STAR Digital Voice repeaters with my ID-1 mobile
in Chicago.
In a flat, urban area like Chicago 23cm works extremely well. It works
particulary well in downtown Chicago amongst the tall buildings.
On 23cm FM there is no noticeable mobile signal flutter like the

ut one question to the group: HT 1,2 GHZ 1 Watt or more on 7 -9 db antenna

My 1,2 GHZ repeater has a 14.9 DB Commet Antenna,she scares me already,I
havve a 90 Watt Amp on 1,2 GHZ for the DD.But not installed yet.
A few comments about 23 cm. I used to operate an analog 23 cm repeater. It
was located at the same (urban) site as a 440 repeater. They got almost
identical coverage. Obstructions are problem for 23 cm. A brick wall can
literally be
a brick wall for a 23 cm signal. But, as several people pointe

Gene,
I personally don't know if it is reporting DD vs DV - but it does give
an indication that 23cm is being used.

On the W1KK system we recently upgraded the 23cm
duplexer to be a triplexer. And we've got a new
antenna and a couple of hundred feet of 1 5/8
that will be going up as soon as the WX permits.
With decent HAAT 23cm plays quite well ...
not much different than 33cm and we have a lot
of new 33cm sy
We are getting some use down here in Florida, you need to go over to
the dstaar-gateway group and read up on the new testing we are doing
with the DD boxes and the ID-1.

FIRST OF ALL, DO NOT INSTALL AN AMP ON THE DD BOX!!
Your going to save some headaches by not doing that...
there are no amps out there that can switch fast enough
for the DD boxes ask the Michigan group, been there done
that, the own the shirts!
For Voice, go ahead, we added a preamp to the
